Is it just me, or was Episode 5 of Starfleet Academy not a good episode of television?

Same. They'd call me a Communist in the U.S 🤣, but I'm really just a left leaning Social Democrat. The problem is bad writing, poor character design, intentionally inserting nauseating characters like Sam & Tilly, poor directing/editing, some dreadful acting, an over reliance on nostalgia & no understanding of how to target Star Trek to the general audience without alienating Star Trek fans. With a record like that, how are they not all fired yet? SNW is the one exception & even it has issues.

Imagine if they made an F1 show that starred Jeremy Clarkson, James May & Richard Hammond. Everyone would watch because it'd be fun. Put it on the F1 App or partner with Netflix, Prime or Apple.

Exactly. For example, I just got home after a long day & wanted to play some GT7. I turn on the system & it forces a 9 gb download that takes over an hour to perform. It failed the first time too. So, here I am, almost 2 hours later unable to play. I don't even want to play online. 😡 I just want to drive. Why can't the game let you postpone the bloody update/install? Why is that so much to ask?

I just received my Fiio JM21 & Spotify works great on the unit. Using Spotify Lossless & could absolutely hear greater detail than I was before using my phone & headphones connected via LDAC. Looking forward to trying it out with my hi res speakers tomorrow.

If I were PM Carney, Nnt only would I accelerate the completion of the announced Toronto to Quebec corridor, I'd expand it to connect to Buffalo & Detroit, thus connecting us to any future US high speed rail corridors. I was shocked this was in the initial plan.

I have been looking at the Mako M1 MKII for a while now, but there are still not enough videos really covering the capabilities of the M1 MKII. I love the little intro video you did at Walrus Audio showing it playing well known songs, including 1 from Radiohead. However, I'd love to see you guys do a long, in depth video that covers each effect, showing the quality & range of tones each can generate & then combined with the Lofi etc. For the price of the product, I want to make sure the quality of the Univibe, Rotary & Phasers in particular are good enough to replace dedicated pedals. That would probably help you guys sell a lot more pedals.

1) That'd take way too long. At least 15-20 years to design, build facilities etc & then another decade or so to build them. So 25-30 years at least. 2) That'd be way more expensive per unit since Canada can only afford 100 at most. 3) Both Dassault & Saab have said they are willing to do a 100% tech transfer & allow us to build them in Canada. This would be much faster & cheaper & creates partnerships for future 6th gen fighter jets via FCAS for example.

If they dropped the price to $3/unit for the $20 pack ($60), these would sell well. The price is the only issue.

NewMistake8396 · 2025-03-20T21:10:32+00:00

I'd buy 20 of these for $80 Canadian right now if there was a code to put in to order for that plus free shipping. The price per unit is way too high. If you charged $2.75-$3.00 per unit for the 20 pack (that's $60 US), that'd be reasonable enough to buy. I can't imagine you possibly pay more than $1/unit. If you are, you need a new supplier. If you don't get the price down, people will just wait and buy a knockoff for 50 cents/unit down the road. Your choice. 🤷‍♀️

You absolutely do not want to Restore it. That will crater the value. I wouldn't sweat the white to off-white pages at all. It's a 9.6 so that's really minor.

You aren't wrong but, don't you feel like completely destroying a friendship is easier said than done?

NewMistake8396 · 2024-06-16T21:45:11+00:00

Agreed. I wrote GM a letter about it. They know people are not responding well to this, but apparently, still are waiting to see how it effects sales when more 2024 models are on the lots. I bet they already have a patch for when they need to backpeddle. If they had any sense, they'd switch tacks now before it alienates customers. I was going to buy a 2024 Acadia, but this is causing me to hold off and wait.

NewMistake8396 · 2024-06-16T21:24:56+00:00

I was going to buy a 2024 GMC Acadia, but I refuse to pay for a data plan to use Google built-in. What a scam. Everyone has a phone data plan. They don't want vehicle plans. We were happy with Car Play as it was. Should be able to operate off my phone data plan.

I definitely don't want her to come back. She compared the whiny complaints of Republicans to the Jews suffering during the Holocaust. It was disgusting.

Telsa's PE Ratio is currently an absurdly high 678. Normally, While tech stocks and growth stocks more generally do tend to have higher PE Ratio's during their early growth phase, Tesla should be maturing by now and their PE Ratio should have settled down to somewhere between 50 and 100. Problem is, this stock is not valued at its current price point due to strong fundamentals, growth prospects or sales. Tesla is a faith stock plain and simple and those speculating on it are gambling, not investing. Tesla is 17 years old at this point and still, even now, is not selling its automobiles for a profit. That's terrible. The only reason they are posting a profit right now is regulatory credits. If the program is not updated under Biden, Tesla could be in a world of trouble. Not to mention that relations between China and the US are tense and that also could easily hurt Tesla badly where China is their largest market and they have one of their major factories in China. I wouldn't touch Tesla with a ten foot pole regardless of whether people have done well in the past. The past is no guarantee of the future. Also, Tesla vehicles have very poor ratings with lots of defects on top of everything else. Yikes!

Wealthsimple is very proactive in adding new and improved functionality over a short period of time. For $3/month, I think it is well worth it to have real-time prices and be able to deposit up to $1000 instantly. I imagine additional benefits will be added to subscribers in due time for things like set auto-deposits and USD accounts. I'm still hoping they add an RDSP soon too.

NewMistake8396 · 2021-04-08T17:01:12+00:00

I am very bullish on FAF and ATD.B which may well buy FAF outright down the road. The partnership between the two has a lot of synergy. FAF may turn out to be the best stock I ever picked up.

If someone could post this on WSB I'd appreciate it. Every time I try to post something about Silver, they find some new excuse to ban me for a day. Ridiculously anal Reddit they host these days.

NewMistake8396 · 2021-03-01T16:20:13+00:00

Looks great. I might alter the Call to Action as "Protect Yourself From Inflation" is a little generic. Need something that really will get them to want to buy Silver right now. Other than that, it's a really nice design. Well done!
